Sabotage? A drone flying overhead downloading garbage into the system's computers to start the cascading failures?

I don't know. What I do know is what I see with my own eyes having lived here for 20 years which is years of neglect of the public utilities at most every level of government here. I'd like to know how many time I've told my woman, "I don't know how these guys manage to keep the lights on".

We're in the big middle of summer here right now. It's dry as a popcorn fart in this area, I'm sure to the south as well. I see fires starting all the time on the mountains near here where no one lives or would have reason to burn. To believe that the brush under a set of power lines was overgrown and could have started a fire hot enough to burn the lines overhead is not beyond belief. It's why those areas are normally kept clear of all brush.
